Holiday Weekend Plans?

It's summer's last hurrah around here. We had such a mild August with return of the monsoon season. Rain and clouds and over 3 weeks with sub 100 temps, which is a miracle. But today it's 111 degrees, and through next week temps from 109-112. So I'll be inside somewhere, but mostly at home. So many chores, so many diversions from them.....

Those tomatoes look amazing!!

I’ll be doing a side job for an old friend. Last weekend I tore out the wall tile and tub in his bathroom, plumbed in a new diverter, leveled the studs, installed a new tub, and hung hardybacker boards. Sat will be new tile from tub to ceiling, Sunday, grout and caulk….done. He got a few quotes from a couple contractors that all came in around 6K for this little job. I told him to tell them all to pack sand and that I can save him thousands while still making decent coin for myself, and most important, doing a much better job than any of them would have done. So Labor Day weekend will be….labor indeed. Monday I’ll be on my kayak fishing…w/ a cooler full of cold beer.

I will be mixing fun with not fun activities by watching Premier League matches while simultaneously trying to unpack moving boxes.

Emptying boxes from that were stored during the post-flood rehab of our downstairs. I’m close to getting my music room back!

 

[Charlie Bernstein]

Celebrating our wedding anniversary Friday night. (Dinner out.) Playing at a farmers market Saturday. (They pay, these days!) A couple of friends are coming over for dinner on the porch Sunday night. (We have a couple of bottles or Malbec to break open.)

Now you know!

I completely forgot I hit the “notify me when back in stock” button on Sweetwater, months ago. I haven’t gotten to play her much, but very happy so far. Only weighs 6lb 10oz!!

….so, my weekend is spoken for

Every day's a holiday!

Multiple episodes of large slabs of carbonized bovine proteins accompanied by lashings of adult fermented and distilled beverages.

Horiatiki, some nice grill-roasted green beans, what will be almost the last of the summer sweet corn, Caprese salad (I have a forest of basil to use up), and my justly-renowned chili-lime grilled shrimp.

And that's only one day out of the weekend.

Gonna sceine some crawfish and fish for Smallmouth Bass in Jones Creek.

 

[Cougar]

Look out for that bridge!


Ah, just made it!

 

[DrumBob]

I have an outdoor gig Sunday evening (using the green sparkle Slingerlands), but I'll be spending some time with my grandson Friday night and Saturday afternoon, and will be making a big pot of sauce, meatballs and brasciole at some point, for dinner on Monday with the family. No burgers and dogs this year on Labor Day. It'll be pasta day for a change.

By summer's end, whatever basil is still in my garden, I usually cut the branches off the main stem, and stuff them in a ziplock freezer bag, squeezing out as much air as possible, then toss it in the freezer. Then during the winter, I pick from it to toss in pasta sauces just before serving so the leaves can rehydrate. It's not "fresh" basil per se, but still 100x better...and fresher tasting than those nasty dried flakes from a shaker.

Sorry cannot help myself, thinking Fawlty Towers and "Basil, BASIL!"
